Bulk Item Disposal Information

The City provides free curbside removal of bulk items from residences. A bulk item is too large to fit into a garbage bin or bag.

Bulk metal items are collected on recycling days, while all other bulk items are collected on normal garbage days. Collection of large non-commercial bulk items from residential buildings is limited to six items per normal garbage day. A total of 12 bulk items can be placed out on a recycling day (6 regular bulk plus 6 metal bulk).

The following guidelines apply:

  • An appointment must be made for any appliance containing CFCs (such as air conditioners and refrigerators)
  • Bulk items may NOT be brought to the City's special waste disposal sites
  • Construction or renovation debris is considered commercial waste unless the owner did not hire personnel to make improvements
